Fans have gone crazy over the first glimpse of Ziggy Astoni (Sophie Dillman) and Dean Thompson’s (Patrick O’Connor) child in a brand-new Home and Away trailer for 2023. The popular couple’s “fresh beginnings” are hinted at in the show, which also shows viewers how Ziggy copes with giving birth.
“Hello! In labour, pregnant woman! Before the new parents are seen in the hospital lovingly embracing their infant, Ziggy yells at Dean.
As the couple cuddles their baby child, Dean tenderly expresses his love for Ziggy.
Fans primarily focused on Ziggy and Dean’s child, despite the drama surrounding Felicity Newman’s (Jacqui Purvis) survival following a catastrophic car accident being hinted at in the preview.
One admirer gushed, “Omg not me crying because Dean and Ziggy’s kid [is] so cute.”
Another person said, “Oh my goodness that baby looks like Dean lol.”
A third questioned, “So delighted does that imply Ziggy [and] Dean are having a boy or girl?.”
Another remarked, “Nice to see Ziggy actually made it to the hospital in Summer Bay.”
Others expressed their enthusiasm for Home and Away’s January 9 return to television after the programme had been off the air since late November for its yearly summer hiatus.
“Ahhh omggg, these ads are simply making me more and more eager for the return of my favourite TV programme ever. Like, it won’t be back for long now. I genuinely can’t wait to be back in the bay for another fantastic year,” a delighted viewer remarked.
Wow, I can’t bloody wait, a third person chimed in.
A third person added, “Wow how wonderful, cannot wait, looking forward to seeing all the Home and Away actors.”
